Book Description Grammar, it turns out, has uses beyond clear communication: managed wisely, it can actually hasten personal growth. Writing in a lively, anecdotal style, Weinstein demonstrates numerous surprising connections between elements of grammar and human attributes that most of us would like to possess -- connections, for example, between the use of the "double-barreled" punctuation mark and assertiveness; and use of the first-person pronoun ("I") and heightened awareness. In the right circumstances, says Weinstein, "that mere featherweight, a comma, can alter the course of a day."

A grammar book you'll love reading May 26, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is not your grandmother's grammar book. Grammar for the Soul captures the love of language and the desire to make writing more effective, but it's also fun and delicious. This book will not only be on my college class reading list, but also will be the gift of choice for my friends and family. Move over, Strunk & White, make room for Grammar for the Soul.
